Installing or removing wheel guard
(For depressed center wheel, multi disc /
abrasive cut-off wheel, diamond wheel)
CAUTION:
•
When using a depressed center grinding
wheel/Multi-disc, wire wheel brush or cut-off wheel,
the wheel guard must be fitted on the tool so that
the closed side of the guard always points toward
the operator.
For tool with locking screw type wheel guard
Fig.9
Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the wheel
guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing box.
Then rotate the wheel guard around 180 degrees
counterclockwise. Be sure to tighten the screw securely.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.

Loosen the lever on the wheel guard after loosening the
screw. Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the
wheel guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing
box. Then rotate the wheel guard around to the position
shown in the figure. Tighten the lever to fasten the
wheel guard. If the lever is too tight or too loose to
fasten the wheel guard, loosen or tighten the screw to
adjust the tightening of the wheel guard band.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
Installing or removing depressed center
grinding wheel/Multi-disc

Installing or removing Ezynut
(optional accessory)
CAUTION:
•
Do not use Ezynut with Super Flange or angle
grinder with “F” on the end of the model No. Those
flanges are so thick that the entire thread cannot
be retained by the spindle.
Fig.14
Mount inner flange, abrasive wheel and Ezynut onto the
spindle so that Makita Logo on Ezynut faces outside.
Fig.15
Press shaft lock firmly and tighten Ezynut by turning the

NOTE:
•
Ezynut can be loosened by hand as long as the
arrow points the notch. Otherwise a lock nut
wrench is required to loosen it. Insert one pin of
the wrench into a hole and turn Ezynut
counterclockwise.
OPERATION
WARNING:
•
It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure.
Forcing and excessive pressure could cause
dangerous wheel breakage.
•
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
